Harborside Inn Of Boston

Harborside Inn Of Boston

8/10 Good
"While the room was very nice, for what you are paying per night I would expect either free coffee in the lobby or a small coffee maker in the room. If you wanted coffee you either bought it from the non-affiliated restaurant downstairs or walked a couple of blocks to Starbucks or Dunkin (the 7/11 next door does not open til 0930)."

Hawthorne Hotel

Hawthorne Hotel

8/10 Good
"Arrived at the hotel to be informed checkin would be at 4, the rooms were still not ready by 4.30, we left, had dinner and returned to a smooth check in. After a long travel day and the room still not ready by 4pm was slightly annoying. There was water issues in the city that day, I know this because I overheard, not by information from staff. The floor requested & confirmed via email was not given, but it was no big deal. Location was perfect, staff were helpful, cleanliness of the room was ok, it wasn't great, we aren't fussy people so it didn't overly bother us, but the price of the stay did not reflect the standard expected."
